I'd just about figured the ShowS idea, but I've yet to get a handle on this idea of [a] 'monoid'.
Might http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/haskell_and_monads.htm be of any help?

(I still don't claim to understand it all, but at least I get a sense of whet the term monoid means.) #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
